By reference to the table of Contents, it will be seen how small a portion of this work has been de voted to mere passing events, and how much to sound instruction in every matter connected with our Church Service, and to Church Music in particular. The testimonials from the press have been in the highest degree satisfactory. The English Churchman, in speaking of" the positive claims and merit" of this work" upon the notice of religious families," awards to us also a high meed of praise. It says that "our volumes not only contain a large collection of the very best Music of the Church, but an immense amount of practical information, sound criticism, and suggestions adapted for every one who takes any part or interest in the revival of Church Music."

THIS series of attractive and useful works, by approved authors, was designed to furnish the HIGHEST LITERATURE of the day, at the lowest possible price, and was commenced in consequence of the Acts which had passed the British Parliament for the protection of Copyright, and the rights of British authors and publishers, by the entire exclusion, both in GREAT BRITAIN and HER COLONIES, of foreign pirated editions; and the volumes have been issued at a price which places them within the means not only of the Colonists, but also of the less wealthy classes at home, who are thus benefited by the widening of the market for our literature. The aim of the Publisher was to produce a Series of Works as entertaining as romances, but conveying & the same time sound information. wwwwwwwwwww WORKS ALREADY PUBLISHED. 10/ HEAD'S PAMPAS JOURNEYS. 2/6 BORROW'S BIBLE in SPAIN. 5/- DARWIN'S NATURALIST's VOYAGE. 7/6 MELVILLE'S MARQUESAS ISLANDS. 5/- MISSIONARY LIFE in CANADA. 2/6 LETTERS from MADRAS. 2/6 ST.

He is thus enabled to offer to the public a compact and portable work, the bulk of which does not exceed the compass of a single shelf, or of one trunk, suited for all classes and all climates-of which the interest, value, and popularity is not likely to be impaired by lapse of time. At the same time the large circulation of the "Home and Colonial Library," and the continued demand for back numbers, convince him that there is an unabated desire on the part of the public for reading, at once cheap, popular, and instructive; he is therefore preparing speedily to put forth a New Library, which, though equally portable, shall be even more elegant in typography than the last, and shall surpass, or at least maintain, its literary value and general attraction.

In answer to this, the proprietor begs to refer to the "Publishers' Circular" of October 1st (page 330), where the case of a foreigner's right to copyright is fairly stated in the case of Boosey v. Purday. The Proprietor of the "Pianista" has not, for a moment, ceased selling the number in question, and will, on the evidence of damages being completed, bring an action against Messrs. Ewer and Co. for their attempt to injure the "Pianista."
